Frequently Asked Questions

How do the dentists compare to US dentists?

We have carefully vetted each and every dentist. We have pre-screened all the dentists we work with, carefully selecting only the very best dentists with years of experiences, professional memberships, and stellar patient reviews. All of our dentists have proven track records with American patients. These dentists often have clinics that not only rival the average American dental office but are often much more advanced in terms of equipment and techniques. Many of our dentists have trained alongside their American counterparts here in the US and often are members of the American Dental Association.

According to the National Coalition on Health Care, more than 500,000 Americans traveled abroad to receive medical and dental work in 2006. And this is not an isolated trend. Dental procedures are a common choice because only about 50 percent of Americans have insurance for such care. And those people who are insured still face stiff dental bills. Insurance plans, typically offered through employers, require patients to pay the majority of the costs of procedures beyond standard preventive care.

What if something goes wrong?

All of our dentists have guaranties and warranties on all dental work done in their clinics. We work closely with our dentists to ensure that patients are completely satisified and communicate with patients regularly.

Do I need to speak Spanish?

Absolutely not! All of our dentists speak English and in general Costa Rica is a very tourist-friendly destination where the large number of taxi drivers, hotel managers, and restuarant staff speak English.

What forms of payment can I use to pay for my dental work?

All of our dental offices accept cash or bank transfers and often offer a discount if cash is the main form of payment. The majority of our dental offices also accept debit and credit cards. None require payment prior to your arrival.

I have dental insurance, can I use it in Costa Rica?

Many US insurance companies now reimburse patients for dental work done abroad. We always recommend patients check with their insurance companies before their trip in order to see what may be covered and what the insurance company will need. Generally, patients pay for the work up front and then get reimbursed from the insurance company upon return.
